LAMB OF GOD Guitarist MARK MORTON Launches PEARL JAM Cover Video For "Black" By Larry Petro, News Monkey Wednesday, January 29, 2020 @ 10:44 AM

“The early ‘90s were such an important and vibrant time for rock music in general, and I feel like "Black" is one of the great songs from that era,” MORTON says. “Our approach in covering it was to present a super stripped-down version, sticking the essence of the song. It’s got a very lonely feel to it and Mark Morales delivered an absolutely incredible vocal performance.”
Ether, MORTON’s second solo offering, was released this month via Rise Records. The primarily acoustic EP is comprised of three original tracks and two covers that showcase MORTON’s diversity as a musician. As with last year’s solo debut, Anesthetic, the guitarist enlisted the talents of various musicians and vocalists to bring his songs to life.
Morales, who regularly tours as part of MORTON’s live band, sings two songs on the EP - the original track “All I Had To Lose” and “Black”. Additional vocals are provided by Lzzy Hale on THE BLACK CROWES cover “She Talks To Angels”, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE/LIGHT THE TORCH vocalist Howard Jones on “Love My Enemy” and MOON TOOTH singer John Carbone on “The Fight”. Ether was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, GOJIRA, TRIVIUM).

Following the 2019 release of Anesthetic, MORTON took his live band, consisting of Morales on lead vocals, Doc Coyle (BAD WOLVES) on guitar, Nick Villarreal (SONS OF TEXAS) on bass, Art Cruz (LAMB OF GOD, PRONG, WINDS OF PLAGUE), on a North American co-headline tour with LIGHT THE TORCH.
MORTON recently wrapped a handful of intimate acoustic shows in the UK as a three piece with vocalist Mark Morales and guitarist Joe Harvatt.
